Hi Everyone,

My mother has filled a petition on my behalf, which i am hoping to be get through early next year. I have a concern that I have B1/B2 visa valid for 10 year, which i got in 2008 and at that time in the visa application form I mentioned that nobody has filled immigration petition for me and none of my relative lives in USA.
Will this be big issue or will make any difference in issuing of immigrant visa? please share your experience, will be really greatfull.

Regards

Yes. Hiding a material fact is very serious. If your mother filed her I-130 before you submitted your DS-156 in 2008 and you hid that fact, you committed perjury. You are looking at a possible life ban as a worst case scenario.

Does this means when I go for immgration visa interview most likely we will get caught and visa will be denied plus our B1/B2 vis will be canceled?
What if I go on visitor visa i have and then apply for adjustment of status while staying with US. I am only child of my parents outside US and I dont want to spend rest of my life without my parents.

If you enter with a B1/B2 and apply for AOS, USCIS will almost surely contact the consulate that issued your visa and will very likely catch the lie. And if they dont discover the lie during the AOS process, but find out after GC approval, that makes it easy for them to revoke your GC because your GC was based on AOS which was based on a fraudulently obtained B1/B2 visa.
